Ok here's the deal:

3 or 4 writers a week will be answering questions prepared by myself focusing on the pressing 'Skins questions for that specific week.

I am going to do a test run during training camp and then we will go every week, starting week one of the preseason.

I'm going to be editing the answers to keep them short and to the point so we should have about two or three pages max. I need at least three other writers and so far I have myself and Travis. If I get more than four, then writers will rotate in and out. I will write occasionally, but for the most part I'll be preparing the questions, editing and moderating.

If this is up your alley let me know and post your email to my BB. Thanks!
